What should be a plain silhouette of a rhinoceros in the moonlight instead appears as a hodgepodge of animal parts strewn together at odd angles. The upper-crust suggestion of the rhinoceros being “in repose” treats it as if it is a high-class work of impressionist modern art. The fact that it looks like it was drawn by a child adds to the ultimate humor of the strip.

Every few months there is a similar such story about this ancient marvel of technology and the people remotely maintaining it against all odds.

I can imagine a headline 100 years from now:

Eighty-six is slang meaning “to throw out,” “to get rid of,” or “to refuse service to.” It comes from 1930s soda-counter slang meaning that an item was sold out.

The paper consisted essentially only of the sentence “Get me off your fucking mailing list” repeated many times, sometimes as illustrations or diagrams.
